Fans of R&B singer and Tony winning actress Melba Moore have got some good news coming their way: nearly all of her LPs from the '80s are coming out on CD between now and March.

Moore, the daughter of jazz bandleader Teddy Hill, rose to prominence on Broadway as a cast member in Hair and won a Tony for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her role in Purlie in 1970. Five years later, she began a recording career on Buddah and Epic - but it wasn't until the early '80s and a switch to Capitol that her career started to smoke. Most of these records and singles, including the U.S. dance hit "Love's Comin' at Ya," were produced by Kashif, one of the writers/producers behind Whitney Houston's debut album.

One record has already been released; PTG Records has done a straight reissue of Moore's swan song for Epic, Closer (1980). Between January and March of 2011, however, Funky Town Grooves will release the first five of Moore's LPs for Capitol, each with bonus B-sides and remixes. Closer can be ordered on Amazon now and the others are already up for pre-order on FTG's site.

The track lists are after the jump, as always.
